SIECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 593,689, dated November16, 1897.

Application filed March 17, 1897.

T0 aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, LOUIS F. REMBE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Haverstraw, in the county of Rockland and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Insulators; and Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in insulators; and the object ofthe same is to provide an improved insulator which may be attached inany place where it is desired to support the wire, the same being soconstructed that the wire may be readily secured thereto and preventslipping therefrom.

The invention consists in the novel features of the constructionhereinafter fully described and claimed, and illustrated by theaccompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a perspective view of myinsulator, looking at the same from the front thereof. Fig. 2 is asimilar view looking at the same from the rear.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, 1 indicates the base,which isrounded at its ends, and raised centrally therefrom is a similarshapedhead 2. This head 2 is formed with a spiral groove 3 for receiving thewire 4, and perforated at 5, through which a securingscrew passes, whichalso passes through the base and serves to attach the insulator to thedesired object.

Raised from the base 1 at the endsthereof are the lugs 6, which areformed at their front ends into the hooks 7, which serve to hold thewire and preventthe same from slipping from the grooves in the head. Theupper edges of the lugs are inclined rearwardly (No modehl anddownwardly toward each other, so that the wire may readily be insertedbetween the lugs and the head to wind the same upon the head. One of thelugs is formed with the projection 8 adjacent its hooked end, so thatthe wire rests thereon and is prevented from becoming displaced from thespiral groove.

It will be understood that the hooks prevent the wire from slipping fromthe groove should the insulator be placed in an inverted position.

From the above description it will be seen that I have produced a veryefficient insulator, which is capable of being readily attached in anydesired position, and which securely and positively holds the wire whichis attached thereto.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

An insulator comprising a base having its ends rounded, a head raisedfrom the center of the base, said head being formed with a spiralgroove, lugs raised from the base on opposite sides of the head andformed of the same contour as the head, said lugs having their upperedges inclined rearwardly and downwardly, hooks formed in the lugs, aprojection raised from the base adjacent the hook of one of the lugs,and means for attaching the insulator to a support, substantially as setforth.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.

LOUIS r. REMBE.
